Buy this for the pictures, and go in with your eyes open about the meter. The advertised annual price is close to meaningless for anyone generating media daily. The bigger mark against it on a UK rubric is that you cannot tell from the site who holds your data, which costs it heavily on our second-heaviest criterion.

The thing we could not do with this app is tell you what it costs, and we tried. Published prices differ across every source, including the weekly-versus-monthly framing. That is not disqualifying on its own, but combined with weak memory and no named operator it is hard to see what Kupid offers that Nomi AI or Candy AI do not do better.
